that's again really really hard to enforce, like if i have a sans pfp and talk to someone who just so happens to hate undertale is it really MY responsibility to avoid contact with that person or is it THEIR responsibility to block me or ignore me or (like the mod has stated above) turn off images or avatars on forums, or heck make a thread centered around not liking undertale as a fandom/game, i feel like DNI lists make people feel bad about themselves exactly for this reason, a child isnt going to think about whether you like or dislike a game or movie or show they like, they are going to talk to you no matter what, and that doesnt make then a mean or bad person, it makes them a child freely enjoying something they like, even if you personally dont like it
I think the whole mindset of demanding to not interact with or blocking someone just because they like something you hate is extremely toxic. Wanting to barricade yourself against people who have different tastes/opinions/etc can't possibly be good.
